FIRST SENTENCE: There's a moment in a marriage, whether two days or two hundred and twenty-two days into it, where you're standing side by side in the morning barefoot on the cool kitchen floor.
SUMMARY: [From BN] This cookbook is an indispensable reference for modern couples looking to spend quality time together in the kitchen. Inside are more than 130 recipes for both classic and contemporary cooking that are perfect for day-to-day deux and special occasions with family and friends. More than a collection of recipes, The Newlywed Cookbook is also a guide to domestic bliss. Author Sarah Copeland, a newlywed herself, knows that sourcing, cooking as well as sharing food together at the table makes for a happy couple! This beautiful and sophisticated contemporary cookbook is the new go-to for brides and grooms.
THOUGHTS: The Husband and I have been cooking out of this book for months. I decided it was high-time that I actually read the thing.
This book is only about 2/3 recipes. The rest is all information about what to cook, when to cook, how to cook, why to cook, and the joy of cooking together. The author leans a bit too much on the organic/free-range/hoity-toity attitude for my personal taste, but the general basics of the book are great. The writing is simple but well done.
So far, the food we've made out of this book has been tasty as well. We're trying to make everything at least once, but we already have our favorites. Mmmm braised short ribs with creamy, cheesy polenta.
RATING: 7/10 [Very Good]
